Not since the 2009's SEC title game has No. 13 Alabama been the underdog in a football game, but that will end Saturday. The opening line for the Crimson Tide's trip to No. 8 Georgia has Alabama a 2-point underdog, according to VegasInsider.com. Covers.com has Georgia a 1.5-point favorite while Oddshark.com has it even.

That ends the 72-game run in which Alabama was favored by at least 2.5 points. The streak dated back to the day it beat Florida 32-12 after being a 4.5-point underdog to Tim Tebow and Urban Meyer.

Since then, Alabama's been a double-figure favorite in all but 17 of the 72 games since, according to Covers.com. Alabama was 10-7 in those games. The closest spread was 2.5 points in the 2012 BCS title game with LSU after the Tigers won the regular season meeting.

Back in 2013, only one game had a single-digit spread. Alabama just missed covering the 8-point spread in the 49-42 win at Texas A&M a year after Johnny Manziel's upset in Tuscaloosa when the Tide was a 13.5-point favorite.
